Andy Martin (American politician)

Can you be a politician if you've never held a political office? I suggest that the page be moved to Andy Martin (American lawyer). — goethean ॐ 04:18, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

imo you can be a 'politician' without holding office, just not a 'public official' (elected or appointed). Flatterworld (talk) 13:53, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He is not a lawyer -- he was never admitted to the bar. In any case, the article is poorly titled.

If he is a politician, he ought to have political views; what are they? He has frequently run for office, but has he ever worked (or tried to work) in the structure of a party to influence public policy or expenditures? I would think that the epithet "politician" would be given to someone involved in the day-to-day give and take; has he ever done that? In fact, the article says nothing about the platform(s) he ran on in his many campaigns for office; what would he do if he were elected? Only that early on he "became involved in consumer advocacy". (What specifically did he advocate or litigate? Is he still involved?) The reader could come away with the impression that his career consists entirely of ad hominem attacks. Were these content-free election campaigns? — Solo Owl (talk) 21:25, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
